your internal dialogue rationalizes these products can be dangerous otherwise some government agency would put a stop to it they care about me right or wrong this perception is carefully crafted by the parties that stand to make a financial gain. to these companies you are a projection a demographic. a potential purchaser or revenue generator there's nothing more to the story don't let tony the tiger. i received a phone call from stephen joseph he told me about a high school teacher when. she was teaching advanced health class at a specialty high school in new york city her students were doing research about the use of trans fats in our food so we met up with them to talk about the project. how many people trans fats foods.

really. keep your hands up. i mean i like what you said over here you had a great comment obviously if these words aren't good for you i mean nobody goes and it's a twinkie or big mac. thinking it's healthy food you know it's not good but this is amazing because this is the thing that really got me was that foods that i thought were healthy foods that i was feeding my two and a half year old daughter at home and that's what really got me upset. over. has been the. i touch. all these. products and also the hydrogenated oil is everywhere. which is the way it's the worst of it so if. i think i need any guns all the time when i'm babysitting and i like the fact that they were. that i was if i see i've gotten a divorce i think it's the. first stops on all those part of the stage

would be a lot of. you would think to look out for us. or labeling laws is really confusing it's been an important step forward to require the transcripts be on the food label so it gives consumers some awareness about the amount of transfer out there but it's very confusing because it's legal to own up to half a gram of transfer out you know product and still have a zero there in the line for transfer outs. everybody knows with zero means except in washington zero does not mean zero zero means up to half a grain when we're talking about trans fat hydrogenated vegetable oil the optimal see from them is zero. they only have to label half a gram per serving so you still need to read your ingredient label. that coffee all

of the several thousand so that the test has become. like knowledge that was. all off the boil there see transfer because smell transferred to the major scientific equipment to determine whether or not this translate into profit what are you supposed to do take the equipment to a restaurant with you and test the food to see if it's got transferred and if it's zero doesn't mean zero that food companies might be lying when they put zero grams of trans person on the front of packages. i had to spend a weekend at the university of maryland chemistry lab to find out. i have been presented with these five samples of. nicer rebel films and they've asked me to analyze them for trans fatty acid content. first one is a margarine and it has zero trans on the label and the new chris go has zero trans on the label.

so will take a sample and homogenize that. the scale and that is what will be analyzed for the trans fatty acids. and. from. every food sample that we had to. asked it was labeled as having zero grams of trans fat per cent of it unfortunately all of these foods contain the deadly grade

in the most surprising promise margarine which contains zero point four six grams of trans fat person. and so if the savvy consumer looks at the ingredients partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and they know that that means trance fats so how can it say zero and still be contained partially hydrogenated vegetable oils confusion is not a good thing i think we really probably should not be allowing zero there unless there is no partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in a product after i started really reading labels i noticed some truly disturbing processed foods. bars are designed specifically for people with diabetes. you know those two harvard researchers just told us how transparent them hydrogenated oils insulin resistance and lead to diabetes. why would any companies partially hydrogenated oil in

a product made exclusively for diabetics. what about slim fast if trans fats are causing obesity why on earth are they putting these oils in the diet products that is crazy. this really got me thinking about the foods i've been feeding my daughter. our food companies using other dangerous ingredients in these foods. during my research on the effects of trans fat i was surprised by some other corporate ingredients that i found bleached wheat flour. this is the first ingredient on so many product labels. during processing the wheat is sprayed with chlorine gas the same thing as your household bleach but in gas form. that bleach bottle in your laundry room has a warning against consumption written on it for a reason. why are they putting this in our food. why are we eating foods that are manufactured like this. by processing wheat flour with bleach these corporations

are doing more than adding a potentially poisonous ingredient they're stripping the wheat of its nutritional value and creating a need for enriched vitamins. and you think of vitamins what do you visualize is it a picture of an orange pill form. if so you have the wrong image. might be right and the abridged vitamins they put cereals breads and other food products do not come from natural sources like an orange. to be vitamins and in rich flour come from chemicals petroleum bacteria and rocks. less right at the last part of the trans fat puzzle. fires used to replace expensive ingredients like butter cream and eggs because they have a longer shelf life if you bake your cakes in home you don't get all if you do

whatever make your own home hollandaise sauce or some people you know you know hey i'm gone so it's all part of the. i don't have time to cook give me something quick there are thousands of them on the market the only way to examine the ingredients amano and legless rides is by reading the patent application on file at the u.s. patent office. the documents many contain partially hydrogenated oils as the base for their formula since there is less than half a gram per serving of companies using these ingredients have no legal obligation to tell you that trans fats are present. the only way to eliminate this poison from your diet is to read the label on everything you eat if we stop buying it they will stop making it. the majority of the food you consume comes from somewhere just like this. and the stuff that doesn't come from the well you get it from a place like this or even some place like this or in

a place like this. more than any other country but what you're here. for. everybody. growth in the restaurant industry has skyrocketed from one nine hundred fifty. back then restaurant sales were about fourteen billion dollars a year in two thousand and eight in the restaurant industry reached over five hundred fifty billion dollars that's five hundred fifty thousand million dollars.

in comprehensible number the fast food industry claimed over one hundred seventy billion dollars and mcdonald's the undisputed champion of fast food captured two billion dollars in one year. the food industry uses the cheapest ingredients in food to sell their goods an affordable price to the consumer. this cost cutting results in the most gradients and processes to deliver the cheapest possible product. in the meantime as we keep adulterated foods their wage and. speed in the disease process and. irresponsible health care system.

most people think the f.d.a. will protect them from these harmful practices. from the truth right now the f.d.a. is doing more to protect the manufacturers. now that you have entered the health care machine you get to deal with all the paperwork and red tape that come with any insurance company but now it applies to. the emotional burden of being processed and given the standard package solution usually drugs. more drugs means more money you spend your money on treatment you can afford is more cheap food.

it can be pretty tricky for consumers to navigate the treacherous waters of food choices and honestly transplants are just the tip of the iceberg. did you know that the f.d.a. allows over fourteen thousand chemical food additives in our food supply and nobody nobody is testing the interactions of these chemicals inside your body. not the people making them not the people selling them and not even the people regulating them. there's a lot of lawyers in washington d.c. some good some bad bending going as one of the good ones for eighteen years he was a researcher investigator and legal counsel at the food and drug administration he

explained how the regulatory agency does its job. i've case primary mission is to protect the public. their job is to to both try to prevent unsafe products from getting on the market that could affect consumers their jurisdiction is actually quite broad they have jurisdiction over over foods and pharmaceuticals a whole lot of responsibility and a wide jurisdiction so it's easy to get confused about how they actually operate what does the f.d.a. do. you have to. help me with my diet out there presumably. to make sure they see for human consumption so i work for the f.d.a. . they protect. the regulator. and we regulate about a third of the nation's economy a third of the nation's economy they're trying their best but they were overwhelmed

by all the different products that are out there right now and it makes pretty scary keeping it out of the public is losing confidence in the food supply the safety of the food supply and to the death bed news for the food industry if people don't trust that its products are safe enough to protect. the f.d.a. doesn't have the authority to recall foods who relies on food companies in a sense the industry is this is the kind of regulating itself it has been for probably twenty years and so you end up with the agency trying to balance the interests and this is where i think they're one of the political conflict because many people would argue with that they're the only injuries they should be balancing is the risk for the consumer that's what they should be focusing on for many years the food and drug administration has considered partially hydrogenated oil to be generally recognized to say and for many years who was but in the last

twenty years it's been generally recognized as dangerous and the f.d.a. is derelict in not getting it out of our food supply. we tried to set up an interview with someone from the f.d.a. and we did stop by the headquarters for a visit staying outside who would deny this and only have one question. you want. to represent one third of our economy why isn't the food and drug administration doing a thorough job of regulating it all thanks to some early security people in films. we came we saw. and they conquered i know a lot of people who are having difficult times reaching the agency and some of them are in the press and some of them are consumers and some of them are consumer advocates and some of them are attorneys trying to represent their clients there's a lot of work there for the f.d.a. to do to protect the public's health it doesn't have the funding to do it in all

too often it doesn't have the will to do it either thanks to wealthy corporations and a dysfunctional government the f.d.a. lacks the funding and staff to protect the food supply that has been left to private citizens i'm a former lobbyist i used to lobby in washington d.c. i love it there for years and testified in congress i never bothered trying to get anything done in washington d.c. because i knew immediately i was going to be going to go up against congressman services who would be. on the receiving end of campaign contributions from food companies and a part of it is the media we have so much media hype today i call it media nutrition media supplements and individuals today are really being told by magazines and newspapers what's healthy and what's not healthy term and here's something very significant you are being told what the food manufacturers want you to hear.

and. you very much. new york city's.

told us earlier that modern medicine has. the diseases that are affecting us most he says it's because our focus has been on treatments and the treatments are far too expensive. so what we should do it now is to focus our attention we should search why we fail. is greed is created that's what it is you talk about dream it dream it. and getting paid directly correlated. i believe the reason that people not associated food with the disease is because a part of it is they don't understand that what you eat becomes you transfer that in some ways really like ionizing radiation we know that it's very dangerous a million doses of high doses and it's really impossible to say that there's any safe level so i think the sensible thing is really to have no trans fats from

partially hydrogenated oils in our diets people forget the major impact the diet has on the public's health it's easy to forget when the food tastes so good kind of foods we're reading are a major cause of obesity heart disease cancer diabetes pro-science tooth decay and in our in fact one of the great challenges we have today is how we promote health or how we prevent strokes and heart attacks so what is the. the answer is no me telling you these the answer is you because the american public knows very well they would take a mention see that it is more king's bad blood pressure back lack of it just say she's but these but they all know that so these she's not to have to tell you the

issues are you ready in your life to put health as a priority or you are not. health should be everyone's priority and the bottom line is that trans fats and processed foods do not contribute to healthy living i was suing because drugs for breakthrough for i was certain because rose for rich. foods that contain these harmful fats are not part of the nutritional diet and if you're eating trans fat i urge you to stop. as we learn more and more about how what we need a facts are one term health and well being refined over processing of food as having many severe consequences. eliminating them from your diet can be a first step on the road to healthy living killing ourselves and we killing ourselves are we didn't are all graves with our teeth. personal responsibility is the cornerstone of any diet change the other is good information

you have to look past the food companies in the media because their sales driven enterprises they're not concerned with your health. their main concern is the shelf life of the product an army concern is the shelf life of the individual. all markets are sales driven. if we start buying healthier foods in these companies will be forced to sell us healthier foods. you have to take responsibility for yourself you can't wait for your government or these corporations to regulate the safety of our food the f.d.a. is is is expecting virtually nothing when it comes into the united states market. i think the problem is very green we're killing the planet broadly and reading it read greek. church.
